Re: What?

In Response To: What? ()

Hi, I would like to comment on this matter. Since I do take apart mechanicals, i would like to say is if you do not wear the watch everyday then just let it wind down. I was told by a watchmaker of 25 years is that if you keep winding an automatic by hand all the time you will prematurely wear the winding mechanism. So either wear it or leave it until you are ready to wear it. Then wind it several times and put it on your wrist and forget about it. Enjoy the watch.

: have to reset it each time you start to use
: it again. If you're not planning on wearing
: it occassionally, why not give it some extra
: winds on that day so it continues to run
: until you do wear it? Am I missing something
: here? What are you trying to accomplish?
